Handel's sparkling opera Partenope reunites contertenor Philippe Jaroussky and soprano Karina Gauvin, who both made such and impact in the recording of Steffani's rediscovered Niobe - released by Erato in early 2015 and welcomed by Grammaphone as "a landmark event". Every moment of Partenope's comedy, romance and drama is captured by the dynamic conductor Riccardo Minasi and his ensemble Il Pomo d'Oro. 　　 　　Jaroussky takes the role of Arsace, Prince of Corinth, while Karina Gauvin in Queen Partenope herself.
